Results Shouldn’t Be Only Goal

Player poaching – the underlying message
I had a conversation recently with a parent who had decided to take their child to play for another club. I asked the parent if they would be willing to give me an explanation, and if there was a reason behind their decision to switch clubs.
The parent told me that it was a very difficult decision because their child was happy at their current club, had many friends on the team and felt they were learning from the coach.
However, the parent went on to tell me that they felt that by changing clubs, they were being given an opportunity – one that was “too good to pass up.”
This piqued my interest, so I asked about this opportunity.
